If you're using a brand-new Volvo model that we have in our dealership, you might be unsure of some of its key fob hidden features. One of these is an unlocked/lock button that you can press in the event the battery in your key fob dies.

To unlock the manual lock or unlock button, hold your key fob with the Volvo logo facing upwards. Find the black button which is situated near the edge of the key fob body, and gently press it to open a cover that houses the manual key blade. You will require a flathead screwdriver or coin to flip the cover counterclockwise so that the arrow is aligned with "open."

The Engine is Ready to Start

Modern Volvo key fobs offer a level convenience and functionality that is unrivalled by manual keys. However, like any battery-operated electronic device, a key fob can be depleted of its charge or cease functioning over time. If you notice that your key fob is less responsive when you press the lock or unlock button, it could be time to replace its battery.

You can activate this feature with the key fob in case your car has a dealer installed Engine Remote Start. The car will then cool or heat to the exact temperature it was at while parked. It will operate for up to 15 minutes.

Remove the cover on the back of the key fob by using your fingernail. A button is located underneath the cover on a diagonal, near the body's edge. Slide it down and then to the right. The cover will be released and slide off, revealing the manual blade! If you're still unable to locate the button, search the newly exposed manual key access area to see whether there's a hidden slot or lever.


Closing the Windows

Volvo key fobs have a hidden feature that allows users to instantly lower all the windows. This is very useful when you are trying to squeeze into parking spaces that are tight or just want to breathe fresh air while driving.

Press and hold the unlock button on your Volvo remote control for four seconds. This will lower all the windows, and also the sunroof in case your car has one. Once you're done with the vehicle, you can close all the windows by pressing the lock key again for four seconds.

You can also activate the panic alarm in your car with the key fob. It will create an alarm that is loud enough to draw attention to the car and deter thieves. It can also help you get home safely when you've been out all night. This feature is useful for those who live in a dangerous area or you want to ensure the safety of your family when you are away from home.

Volvo has loaded its key fobs with a lot of handy features. These are ideal when you're working on groceries or helping your kids to pack their sports gear following practice.

If you own the Hands-Free Liftgate with Logo Projection and Programmable Height (if equipped) then you can open it with the key fob. Simply press the button to open it, then use the same button to close it when you're done.

Use the key fob when you are ready to start the vehicle. (Don't worry if the battery fails or your car doesn't start because it also has an electronic key slot). This is just one of many useful trick for your new Volvo.
